All methods of modifying objects require you to select the object first. When you select an object many of the toolbars change to reflect the selection. The color toolbar changes to reflect the colors of the selected object; you can use this feature to copy properties from one object to another. The overlay combobox displays the overlay of the object. And if applicable, the line styles, icon settings, fractal settings, and text buttons all change to reflect the selected object. (If more than one object is selected, the changes take place only if the property of all the selected objects is identical.)
Move the mouse cursor over one of the black handles inside the selection (the mouse cursor will change into an white arrow). Click and drag the cursor to adjust the position of that handle.
